 Yesterday, the fire experienced very dry, hot weather. With engine support, crews constructed handlines upslope from the bottom of Soldier Canyon. Crews also worked on fireline from Soldier Creek south toward Sharp Mountain, while other firefighters secured the area around a structure within the fire perimeter near Commodore Pass. Helicopters shuttled crews into areas of steep, inaccessible, terrain, and will continue to support firefighters over the next few days.Today, burning operations continue west of Bald Mountain. Most of the perimeter is still holding at the existing fireline, but firefighters will go direct where fuels and terrain allow. If there are areas with too much heat, helicopters may drop water to cool the fire edge.
